Peek Baccarat is a casino table game hosted by a real-life dealer. The base game is the same as standard baccarat, and your job is to decide which hand - the Banker or the Player - will be the closest to nine.
The peek feature lets you look at between one and four cards after the initial deal to inform your betting strategy. After peeking at the cards, you can decide to double or triple your initial bet. This allows you to win more money with each hand you play, cranking up the potential payouts compared to standard baccarat.
How to Play Peek Baccarat?
Playing Peek Baccarat is easy. First, create an account at Stake Casino and head to our live casino lobby. From there, select Peek Baccarat and decide how much to bet per round. Make sure you have some funds in your account balance to place your bets.
Then, when you’re in the game lobby, bet on the Player or the Banker and peek at up to four cards. You can then decide to double or triple your bet for a chance to win a bigger potential payout.

Peek Baccarat Rules, Features & Gameplay
Let’s take a closer look at exactly how Peek Baccarat works so you know what to expect when placing your bets:
Betting Time
You are given 12 seconds to place your bets when you enter the Peek Baccarat lobby. You need to decide whether to bet on the Player, Banker, or Tie, and you can also choose place player pair or banker pair side bets. Also, a 20% fee is taken at this stage to fund the peek element of the game.
Peek at Cards & Finalise Bet
After placing your bets, the dealer will place four cards on the table, two for the player and two for the dealer. The dealer then turns over 1-4 cards. Once you’ve seen the cards, you can choose to double or triple your bet. No additional fee is taken from your bankroll if you decide to increase your bet, and you have 15 seconds to decide.
The dealer then deals the remaining cards, and if you have bet correctly, you will earn a payout, as detailed below.

Peek Baccarat Strategies & Tips to Win
Now that you know how to play, here are some tips to bear in mind as you place your bets at the Peek Baccarat table:
Peek Baccarat is a good option if you want to double or triple the value of your wins. However, if you don’t plan to increase your bets when the cards are revealed, Evolution’s standard baccarat is probably a better option for you due to the 20% fee.
Baccarat is a game of chance, so remember you can win or lose each time you bet. Make sure you manage your bankroll responsibly to stay in control while betting.
